longins of the tenterS to the railroad
depotS, and by this afternoon nearly all,

Salvation army services, will have de-
parted.
SAM JONES' FAREWELL.
Sam Jones preached his last sermon in
the morning, taking as his text, Fear
God and keep His commandments, for
this is the whole duty of man."
1T is not wise to feast to-day and
famish through eternity. God don't
care SO much whether you're sick or
well, in trouble or not, at the present
moment; but He does care for what the
final issues going to be-whether you re
going to be His or the devils. It's not
so much what's happening at Red Rock
camp grounds as the character you're
forming. Brother members, the Lord
don't care so much where you're going
next year, or whether you're going to
have enough for luXurieS. He's looking
out whether you're developing loyalty
to him or not. The great end of all our
efforts is to work out the selfishness
inherent in our natures. 1t does strike
me that if | was going to hell, I'd go
faster than some of You fellows are going
toward heaven. There are men who
have been running the Christian race
forty years and they haven't got to the
first mile post yet. Sister, amt you
tired? don't believe in these grave
yard preachers. l believe that Chris
dainty is the best preparation for this
life and the life to come. l declare
believe there. are some preachers who
rejoice over a funeral. Holiness is vol
untary obedience to the word of God.
Every struggle and temptation
are but tools with which Gods
molding you to his purpose. From the
time of Adam, God has not added a
thing to man. He's just been chipping
off. How people do love to cling to a
misfortune. There's many woman
that's clinging to an old gray-headed
trouble to which she's chung for sixty
years. If you want to work to the great
est good you just fear God. Wherever
you find fellow that don't
fear God you'd better be afraid of
him. You fear the church, and if
you can't keep it from jumping on you,
you feel happy at your progressive
euchre parties and germans and balls.
The church is the highest. conception
some people have. and if it doesn't
cdme down on 'em they think they're
about as good as anybody. What's
methodist preacher good for anyhow?
There amt but two things. One of
these is to convert men and the other is
t6 worry them into heaven. Why,
the devil will get nine-tenths
of You if your pastors don't
prick you up often. If you're nothing
on earth you'll be nothing in heaven.
Won't you, old Sister Nothing, look
nice walking around up there, nothing!
nothing! Study to know just what God
wants you to do and be so busy at it that
the devil will have no chance to get at
you. If you keep the commandments of
= God there's happy, useful life ahead
of you in Minnesota and happy life
hereafter. Virtue carries her own re-
wards to decorate those who worship
at her shrine. They say Pm
eccentric. The only eccentricity
ally. / have seen cOllege-made men,
but God Almighty made ME and I've
never interfered with the job. If I'd
preach like these ministers preach you'd
not have come here to-day, or, if you
had, you would take the first train away.
Lots of you say 81 don't like the way he
talks, it's so vulgar" It's the only
thing I've got patent on, and it's what
I've got to use. A train that doesn't
or else is on side track. If
now and then I run over an in
nocent old cow why I'll pay
for it and go on. If you don't like the
fast train you can go by a slow one.
These fellows here" turning to the mill
listers, run a lot of slow ones for your
convenience. / don't care what they
say about me. If they tell lie Pm
glad it amt the truth. I'm so sorry it's
true that / VOW l won't do it again.
Brethren, want to tell you that the
nj OF
Red Rock and Minneapolis could never
have been done if the seed had not been
;sown by the good preachers of that city
before | went there"
POLITICAL PROHIBITION.
Instead of the usual afternoon service
Rev. w. w. Satterlee gave an informal
talk on Political Prohibition" Indi-
rectly he severely criticised the position
taken on that question by Sam Small in
his afternoon lecture.
The stockholders met in Tent No. 2 at
4 o'clock p. III. and elected the following
trustees to fill vacancies in the board:
J. I. ToSteVin, R. I'll. HaSty. NJ. Ian
pher, W. K. MarShvll and WV .Satterlee.
The old and new members of the board
of trustees then met and elected the
following officers for the ensuing year:

r. II. Hasty; secretary, A. H. Rose;

son, w. K. Marshall and w. w. Sat
terlee, constitute the executive COM
mittev.
Sam Small was unable to preach
the evening sermon, sending
word that he would preach
his farewell sermon this morning, and
Rev. W. w. Satterlee was pressed into
the service, and, considering that he
had had no time to prepare, delivered
an eloquent sermon. His text was
the unity of the faith, and of the knowl-
edge of the Son of God, with aperfect
man, with the measure of stature of the
fulneSs of Christ"

of the grounds this evening. beginning
their services with meeting at 7:3O

Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Mime

both he and Mrs. Booth will be present

occupy tents on the grounds, coming
chiefly from the s'TWin Cities" The
